Chapter 169: Hunting on the outskirts of Beijing
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
The sun in Shengjing is scorching and scorching, and the stalls selling ice cream in the streets and alleys are lively again. The rich and noble families couldn't stand the heat, and they dragged their families to the mountain villa to escape the summer, and the shade of the trees on the mountain was cool, and it became a good place for the children of the nobles.
"Summer Favor" came in the second month after the Dragon Boat Festival.
The night before the hunt, Chang Jin received a list of medical officers from Cui Min who had entered the mountain this time.
Hunting in the suburbs of Beijing is also regarded as an annual event for the children of the nobles of Shengjing, when the first emperor and the first prince were alive, they personally participated in the hunting, which was part of the "military salute".
In addition to the guards, there were also some medical officers and medical workers from the Medical Court and the Imperial Medicine Hospital.
They are all either rich or noble, and it is inevitable that there will be a wipe and touch when hunting in the mountains, and the medical officer will accompany him to help with medicine and bandage, which also shows royal compassion and tolerance.
The list of medical officers to go to the mountain was drawn up at the beginning, a total of ten, in addition to a few old medical officers in the medical officer's hospital, there were also a few new medical officers, all of whom were young people with good family backgrounds.
After all, hunting and accompanying the medical officer is a good thing with light on the face, and good favors must of course be given to more worthy people.
Chang Jin looked at the list in his hand and looked at the person in front of the table unexpectedly: "Envoy, here...... Why is there suddenly more Doctor Lu? ”
Chang Jin remembers very well that there was no name of Lu Yu in the previous accompanying list.
"Doctor Wang suddenly felt a cold, and Medical Officer Lu made up for it." Cui Min lowered his eyes and flipped through the medical book in front of him, and replied lightly.
"I see."
Chang Jin nodded. No wonder this list is only in his hands now, it should be a temporary change, Lu Yu's medical skills are good, and recently because of the treatment of Jin Xianrong, he has also become famous in the Medical Academy, and he has this opportunity to show his face in front of the nobles, which is also beneficial to the future assessment of the internal medical officer.
It seems that the envoy has gradually begun to pay attention to Lu Yu.
Thinking of this, he gratefully waved to Cui Min: "Then the lower officials will take the list and inform the medical officers first." ”
Cui Min: "Go ahead." ”
Chang Jin exited the house, and another person came in from outside the door, watching Chang Jin's back go away, before closing the door, looking at Cui Min silently, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the Qi family suddenly asked Doctor Lu to accompany him on the hunt, do you really plan to attack Doctor Lu in the hunting ground?" ”
A few days ago, Qi Yutai, the son of Taishifu, asked someone to give Cui Min a message, saying that in the hunting ground this year, Lu Yu must be allowed to accompany him.
How dare the Medical Officer's hospital not listen to the orders of the prince?
Not to mention that Lu Yu is just a flat person with no identity background.
In fact, it was already a bit surprising that Qi Yutai arranged it so roundaboutly, instead of directly doing it to Lu Yu.
After all, with his identity, it was easy to handle Lu Yu.
Cui Min put down his pen: "I don't know." ”
Lu Yu lives or dies, he doesn't care.
But ants.
The henchman said again: "Look at the roster, don't the court envoys hunt this year?" The Qiu envoys of the Imperial Medicine Institute all went. ”
"No, no."
Cui Min said: "Knowing that there is a change, I should avoid suspicion." As for Qiu He......"
That old man is just too persistent in pursuing progress, and he can't wait to get a share of all the credit for the Imperial Medicine Academy. As everyone knows, there are many mistakes in this world, especially for those who are in high positions and powers.
He had learned this from another person ten years ago.
"Let Chang Jin go for me."
He closed his eyes.
"Recently, he has been a little too concerned about Lu Yu."
……
When Chang Jin sent the list to the dormitory, Lin Danqing was sitting at the table and wiping his face, hearing the good news, he couldn't care about wiping the pearl and jade powder on his face, and turned his head to look at Lu Yu, who was sitting at the table and reading.
"Sister Lu, did you hear it, you will hunt with me tomorrow!"
Lu Yu looked stunned.
Chang Jin kept a straight face on weekdays, but he was finally infected by Lin Danqing's excitement, and couldn't help but smile with him, "It's because Doctor Wang temporarily felt the wind and cold that he called Lu Yu to make up for it, the opportunity is rare, cough, go back and buy some peaches and pears or something, thank you Doctor Wang!" ”
He brought the news with him, and went to another dormitory to inform the other medical officers.
The lights in the room were flickering, and Lin Danqing was still excited: "Great! Originally, I thought that it would be boring to go to the hunting ground by myself, and it would be good to have you as my company! ”
Lu Yu was not in the same good mood as her.
It is difficult to find a place for one person, Lin's father has served in the medical hospital for many years, and it is not surprising that Lin Danqing is on the list, but his name is also among them......
Lu Yu frowned slightly.
Wrong.
Such an aristocratic event, why is it your turn to be a peaceful person? It is important to know that all the rosters will go through Cui Min's hands in the end.
Cui Min suppressed her too late, how could he give her a chance to come out?
If something goes wrong, it will be a demon.
She lowered her eyebrows and didn't speak, Lin Danqing saw this and comforted her: "Why are you so serious?" It's been hot lately, so it's all about going up the mountain to escape the heat. The hunting people are all princes and nobles, the mountains and forests have also been driven in advance, and the lion and tiger beasts have long been cleared, at most they are wolves and leopards. We will wait and follow in the shed outside the forest, and there will be no danger. ”
It didn't sound like a problem, but Lu Yu still felt uneasy.
Lin Danqing patted her shoulder: "Don't be nervous Sister Lu, after all, hunting is just an opportunity to go out and play on the job." Think about it, you don't have to be on duty to take the silver photo, isn't it better than staying in the medical hospital to see people's faces. ”
"Put your heart in your belly, and follow me when the time comes. Let's take a look. ”
I'm sorry for the business vacation, Lin Danqing is always very positive.
She said that, smeared the powder three or two times, turned out a bed of snacks to eat, and threw it into the furoshiki spread out on the bed, not like going to hunt with her, like going to the green. He greeted Lu Yu again: "Sister Lu, you also pack up your things, there are many mosquitoes on the mountain, remember to bring insect repellent dew." ”
Lu Yu stood up, returned to his inner room, opened the wooden cabinet, there were many bottles and cans on the upper floor of the wooden cabinet, she followed the look, in addition to the insect repellent dew, she picked five or six bottles and cans and put them in the medical box.
As his gaze swept over the innermost layer of the wooden cabinet, he suddenly stopped.
There, four palm-sized porcelain jars sat quietly, hidden in the shadows of the cabinet, looking at her faintly.
Lu Yu watched quietly for a long time.
If you want to go out to the mountain, you can't put porcelain jars in the medical box, so as not to bump and bump on the road.
It was the first time since she entered the hospital that she had been separated from her family like this.
She wiped the four porcelain jars with a cloth a few times, pushed them in again, and then pulled out the delicate hibiscus hairpin with a cold glow from the box, and finally closed the wooden cabinet door and locked it again.
"Father, mother, sister, second brother-"
She whispered to herself, "I'll be back soon." ”
……
The summer nights are getting hotter and hotter day by day.
Ice cubes were placed everywhere in the mansion, but there was no heat outside, and it was just the right amount of coolness.
A figure walked through the Taishi Mansion full of Fenyan, walked hurriedly through the corridor, pushed the door and entered the room.
In the room, Qi Yutai was crooked on the couch, and the two beautiful maids beside him were gently fanning him.
"Young master," the person who came into the house and presented the things in his hand to Qi Yutai, "Cao Huai from the Medical Officer's Hospital has already sent the things." ”
Qi Yutai frowned and glanced at the things in the hands of the visitor, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Not bad. Go, take it and familiarize yourself with the tiger. ”
"Yes." The little girl responded, thinking of something, and was a little embarrassed, "However, if the young lady and the master know......"
Qi Yutai glared at him coldly, and the little guy was immediately silenced.
"You don't talk much, how do they know now?"
The little guy didn't dare to speak.
Qi Yutai sneered: "My sister is soft-hearted and my father is pedantic, but how can I tolerate a slutty woman climbing on the head of our Qi family." ”
He sighed: "My sister borrowed my silver to let me fulfill my wish, but I didn't have so much money to repay her, and it can be regarded as a return gift for her to vent this evil breath." ”
After speaking, he glanced at his subordinates: "Dare to tell my father, I know what will happen." ”
The little guy trembled and hurriedly said, "Yes, young master." ”
The white moon was dim, and in the other courtyard separated by a wall of the Taishi Mansion, candles were burning in the night.
There is an old man standing in front of the window, with black robes and white hair, huge eyebrows and bright teeth, quietly looking at the clouds in the distance.
There was a slight sound from the door behind him, and the old man didn't look back, but asked calmly, "Can the young master's things be packed up?" ”
The old butler took a few steps forward and replied respectfully: "It has all been collected, the best guards in the house are with you, the horses, saddles, and chest climbing have all been checked, and the young master's hounds......"
After hesitating, the housekeeper continued to speak: "The young master is hunting this time, and he wants the medical girl from the medical hospital to go by name, does the master plan to stop it?" ”
Qi Yutai thought that what he did was done behind Qi Qing's back, but all the matters in the Taishi's Mansion could not escape Qi Qing's eyes. Sometimes he doesn't say it, just because he doesn't want to.
Like a loving father's indulgent young son, calmly looking at his unclever naughtiness.
"Don't block it." Qi Qingdao said, "It's just a medical girl." ”
He turned, the moonlight was blocked behind him, and the lantern on the table shone on his face, illuminating the wrinkled, old face a little blue-white, like a rotting corpse.
The Buddha beads in his hand were rubbed by him so warm and shiny.
He spun around a few times, lowered his eyes and sighed as he spoke.
"It's also a vent for Ying'er."
……
On the first day of June, it is Shengjing's "Xia Ran,".
Si Tianjian observed the celestial phenomena in advance, and the weather was fine that day. Before dawn in the early morning, Lu Yu followed Chang Jin and the medical officers into the carriage to the hunting ground.
The hunting ground is in Huangmaogang.
The mountains are lush and green, and the trees are beautiful. During the lifetime of the first prince, he took refuge here in the summer until the whole of August, when the autumn hunt began.
Now that autumn hunting has been changed to summer despise, it is convenient to escape the heat.
When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, there were already a lot of people around, and Lu Yu also saw Qiu He, the envoy of the Imperial Medicine Academy, who was eighty years old, standing trembling under the long shed, tired of traveling and driving, and looking very evil.
Most of the first to come were the medical engineers and medical officers of the Medical Officer's Hospital and the Imperial Medicine Hospital, as well as some servants and guards, and the hunting party came later, so that these subordinates could be prepared first.
In the past, when the emperor was alive, he especially attached great importance to the autumn hunt every year, and before leaving, he still had to sacrifice to the sky, and there were nearly 10,000 people who followed the forbidden soldiers and guards, and reviewed the army, but in recent years, he was not in good health and no longer participated in the hunting. If His Majesty doesn't come, the team will be much smaller, and Rao is like this, which still opened the eyes of Lu Yu, who came to the paddock for the first time.
Near the barracks at the foot of the mountain, there are already traders gathering, setting up long tents in the forest, and looking at it from a distance, if a downtown is set up in the forest, the number of vendors is still increasing.
Lin Danqing saw that Lu Yu was looking carefully, and took the initiative to explain: "That's a siege market." ”
Lu Yu: "Siege of the city? ”
"Some of the Qingyun dignitaries who come to hunt will bring their families with them. During the day, he hunted in the mountains and stayed in the camp at night. When you come out in the evening, these canopy vendors sell hot cooked food and sweet syrup, which is no worse than the night market in Jingdemen, which is interesting. ”
She touched Lu Yu's arm: "How about it, I said, it's not a loss for you to come here, right?" ”
As he was talking, the medical officer in front suddenly became noisy, and someone said, "The hunting team is here!" ”
The hunting brigade is coming.
Lu Yu followed the sound and looked.
A large crowd of people appeared in front of them, about thousands. At the front was a gorgeous cyan car, with tortoise patterns carved on the carriage, and hundreds of officials followed.
The cyan car stopped at the entrance of the paddock, and hurriedly knelt down to salute, and Lu Yu also knelt down with the medical officers of the Medical Academy, and heard Lin Danqing whispering in his ear: "That's His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Prince.
Lu Yu raised his eyes and looked ahead.
A young man got out of the car, born well, but only slightly thin, so that he didn't look imposing. He raised his hand and motioned for everyone in the room to get up. Lu Yu got up with the medical officers and looked in the direction of the car, and there were horses behind the prince, and the people on the horses were also gorgeous, and they didn't look like ordinary people.
"That's the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince." Lin Danqing explained to her in a low voice.
Emperor Ming of Liang has a total of four sons and one daughter, the princess is still young, among the four princes, the crown prince Yuanzhen is from the queen, the third prince Yuanyao is from Chen Guifei, and the mother of the remaining two princes and the fourth prince is just a nobleman, who died many years ago.
Although the crown prince was born by the queen, the queen's mother family has gradually declined in recent years, but the power of Chen Guogong behind Chen Guifei has gradually risen, and the position of the prince is unstable.
Miao Liangfang once talked to Lu Yu about this prince, but it was the first time he had seen a real person, Lu Yu looked at it carefully, and secretly wrote down the faces of several princes carefully.
The second prince and the fourth prince didn't seem to have any thoughts, and they looked like they were submissive, but the third prince Yuan Yao looked arrogant, and there was a for tat in conversation with the prince.
Behind these people, there is also a man, about thirty years old, wearing a royal blue brocade sleeved bamboo pattern wide-sleeved robe, his eyebrows and eyes are quite good, and he smiles at anyone he talks to, and he looks very kind.
This man had never ridden a horse, but only rode a soft sedan chair, lifted the sedan curtain, and appeared in front of everyone leisurely.
Lu Yu asked: "This is also a prince?" ”
Lin Danqing followed her gaze: "This is His Royal Highness King Ning." He added in a low voice, "King Ning is His Majesty's only living sibling now." ”
"King Ning?"
Lu Yu was a little surprised.
King Ning Yuen Long is the brother of Emperor Liang Ming, after the death of the first emperor, several princes also passed away one after another, except for Emperor Liang Ming, only this King Ning survived. Lu Yu had heard of this person's name, but he didn't expect him to look so young, not a few years older than several princes.
"His Royal Highness King Ning is a good person," Lin Danqing said: "Shengjing City says that he is a good man, in the past, some people were still in Guanxiang to watch him bargain with the vegetable sellers, that is, there are more concubines, and after a long time, the body will inevitably be in deficit." ”
Her old problem of seeing people and treating patients has been committed again, and Lu Yu can only be speechless.
After the royal family, there are some young masters and sons of the princes and princes.
These Qingyun guests have rich families, so their clothes are extremely beautiful and luxurious. All the horses are strong, with gold saddles and silver bridles. As for the riding clothes, I found the best materials and the best tailors, and I can't wait to see my heroic appearance all over the world.
However, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, even if they have a mediocre appearance, such a valuable thing is smashed down, but it also shows a bit of the unique luxury of wealth.
Especially the soldiers and horses of the Longwu Army followed behind the prince and grandson, the cavalry rode on horses, dressed in black forbidden army uniforms, all tall and handsome, with extraordinary appearances, and they were particularly eye-catching during the trip.
Lin Danqing was fascinated by it and couldn't help but admire.
"It's really good, it's much more handsome than the bean sprouts in the medical hospital. It's a pity that it's too cold on the mountain, the clothes are too thick, and the buttons are so tightly buttoned, so it's better to take them off, so as to benefit everyone's eyes. ”
As soon as she said this, the female medical officers in her companions covered their mouths and snickered.
Lin Danqing raised his eyebrows: "Did I say something wrong?" ”
A thin male medical officer on the side was very displeased when he heard this, and pulled his face and said, "As a woman, Medical Officer Lin should be cautious in his words and deeds." ”
Lin Danqing disagreed: "You don't understand this, there is an ancestor in my family who said that the heart of the doctor's parents also has the saying 'parents of the body', even so, they are all born to me, what is wrong with my mother looking at her son?" ”
She smiled: "Don't look at it, don't look at it." ”
This advantage is too big, and everyone is speechless.
Lu Yu felt that Lin Danqing sometimes talked like the half-sister of the widow Sun on West Street.
Just as he was thinking about it, the voices in front of him suddenly became noisy.
The female medical officer who had just snickered at Lin Danqing let out a small cheer, and Lu Yu raised his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned.
After the long line of the Long Wu Army, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.
Someone rode a horse and galloped by, and the long wind brought up blew through the forest branches, and the morning sun was a little brighter.
The young man also wore the jet-black riding uniform of the forbidden army like the other dragon guards, and the riding uniform completely outlined the beautiful figure of the horseman, like an agile cheetah. Today, Pei Yunyi did not wear an official hat, but only covered his forehead with an inky black embroidered gold forehead, which made him a little less handsome and a little more vigorous.
The horsemen were arrogant, the golden whip was blowing the willows, and the dark and bright eyes were soaked in the sunlight of the forest, showing a jewel-like magnificent color. The young man's indifferent and heroic appearance made people's hearts beat a little faster.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and the female medical officers in front of them let out a voice of admiration like Lin Danqing.
Lin Danqing pursed his lips: "Nuo, the most handsome one is here." ”
Lu Yu froze.
Pei Yunyi really gave birth to a good skin.
She is actually not a person who judges people by her appearance, but many times she will be unconsciously amazed by this person, not because of her appearance, but because of the wanton and unscrupulous vitality of the other party wrapped in a gentle or indifferent appearance.
Enviable.
Lin Danqing on his side sighed: "With such a skin, why do you have such skills, why do you have such skills, why do you have such a skin...... It's really a stunner in the world. ”
Lu Yu was a little amused when he heard it, and was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly stopped when he touched a person behind Long Wujun.
How did he get here?
.
